The Army, The Navy hails from the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, embraced by the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. In the morning, dense fog encircles the mountain’s peak only to burn off by noon, when the sun’s rays penetrate dense canopies of redwoods. Maia Ciambriello and Sasha Goldberg no longer live here, but they’ve carried home throughout their discography—the natural world tethers their astral songwriting to Earth. On their debut album, Fake Brave Life, The Army, The Navy tap into a cosmic power. The album is courageous, desperate, and exhausting all at once, a chronicle of what it feels like to take a risk, to fake bravery in service of a dream. It’s an album for and about artists, whose insecurities are displayed each time they make an offering to an audience, hopeful that it will resonate. The Army, The Navy describes this as their most existential and intentional project to date, a moody odyssey through a dark, rainy night before the break of dawn.
